Tracking numbers for temperature excursions

You can now provide tracking numbers for kits that have experienced a temperature excursion to improve your tracking and visibility for supply chain issues in a study.

Details for sponsor users

When it comes to your workflow, here's what's new for you:

• You can now define the Temperature Excursion Starting Number on the Supply Settings tab when Yes is selected for the Allow Temperature Excursions setting.
• Temperature excursion starting numbers can be configured with a starting value of one (1) digit up to eight (8) digits that sequentially increment by 1. For example, 001, 002, 003, 004, and so on.

  Note:

  The starting number cannot begin with 0.
• All kits that are quarantined together receive the same tracking number.
• Users assigned the Receive the Quarantined Depot Shipment Notification permission receive the new Study Inventory Quarantined notification. This notification alerts users when available kits at a site or depot are marked as Quarantined.
• Users assigned the Receive Notification of Shipments permission receive the new Pending Shipment notification when a shipment has not been received at a site within the number of days defined in the supply settings.

Updates to the following reports have been made to reflect the new tracking number feature:

• Kit Chain of Custody (Blinded) report
• Kit Inventory (Unblinded) report
• Study Design report

Details for site users

Be aware that temperature excursion tracking numbers are displayed under the Kit History side-panel on the Site Inventory page only for kits marked as Quarantined.

Note:

If a temperature excursion tracking number is assigned to a kit, it always remains with that kit and can be filtered by Temperature Excursion Number regardless of the kit status.
